I have become a fugitive from the body, fearful as to the spirit; I swear I know not - I belong neither to this not to that - Rumi Persian émigrés (Mamak Khadem, Ramin Torkian, Pejman Hadadi) and American compatriots who have molded a sound that combines Middle Eastern melodies and rhythmic structures with progressive Western concepts. Their music features exotic and sensuous traditionally-styled Persian soaring feamale vocals, Middle Eastern and African percussion, Persian tar, nylon string guitar (performed by Yussi), and a unusual quarter tone guitar that enables them to play the Persian modal scales that are unique to their music. Pejman Hadadi
an original member of Axiom of Choice is the finest Iranian percussionist
living in the United States. He's a much sought after Persian
tombak and daf player to accompany the rare masters of Traditional
Persian Music. Daf, the traditional frame drum of Kurdish music,
is played in a very unique way. Pejman Hadadi has toured North
America with Hossein Alizadeh, Kayhan Kalhor, and Shahram Nazeri,
and is the premier percussionist member of the Dastan Ensemble.
